Don't go there for must it is a one way trip.

In my case, many of my friends I haven't seen since before my accident, either they have deserted me completely or have sent one or two messages since...not even a phonecall. The rest have gradually stopped calling and coming to see me no reason given. Friends like that aren't what I call friends, especially when I never asked them for support. Ever. I'm just not the same person, they say. Which translates to "I'm only interested in spending time with you of it involves drinking, partying or some sort of exciting activity."
But I'm pretty confident I'll meet other, better friends. I don't want to be a hermit forever.
